This page is a little time capsule from our TWIA journey – TWIA Best Photographers. Back in 2018, we entered The Wedding Industry Awards and received something we genuinely value more than any headline: detailed feedback from our couples.
We’re Marta May Photography – also known as The Mays (Marta + Artur). Our style has always been DOCU-ART: relaxed, natural documentary storytelling with cinematic portraits when it counts. We entered TWIA because we wanted to sanity-check ourselves through real client voting and feedback – and in 2018 we were honoured to be awarded Regional Highly Commended.
Nominated by one of our wonderful brides
We were nominated by one of our couples, Emily, and her words still make us smile. This is exactly the kind of feedback that shows what a photographer is like in real life — not just what their Instagram looks like:
“Marta and her husband Artur are INCREDIBLE!! They are so passionate and enthusiastic about what they do and we are so grateful they were part of our day! From the very first time we met Marta, spoke to her about what they do and saw their work we knew that the only question was exactly which package to go for with them!
They’ve been fabulous all through the planning process, contacting/meeting us ever since our first enquiry. On the day they were brilliant – they work as an incredible team together and at times disappear to work their magic and at other times directed us into the perfect shots. They spent time considering the best shots for us and our venue, taking time to set up the perfect shots for us to use the light, the weather and the surroundings best. And they were so excited to show us the shots they’d created for us!
We are so pleased to have booked Marta and Artur and so grateful for the stunning memories they captured for us!!”
The result
In TWIA 2018, we were shortlisted and awarded Regional Highly Commended – a moment that meant a lot, because it was grounded in real couple feedback.
TWIA Best Photographers – the kind words
Our clients’ reviews we received in 2015 and in 2016 were so beautiful and we cannot wait to read this year’s reviews. I still have to publish the last year’s comments, so expect a couple of blog posts about that. We don’t have a separate page with testimonials, we never wanted to make a big fuss about it. On the other hand we think it is useful for the new couples to read those comments. We hope our dedicated blog posts will do. TWIA Best Photographers – that sounds amazing and we are so proud to be in this group. Once again, thank you so much for your precious time and all the lovely words!
